12. Processing of personal data

Population By law, your personal information will usually be recorded in the Population Information System of
Information Finland if the Finnish Immigration Service grants you a residence permit. You will also be issued a
System and personal identity code.
personal
identity code The Population Information System is Finland’s population register. It is electronic and its contents
are available to all Finnish authorities. Some of the data may also be disclosed to private persons
or entities. The register is controlled by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency and the
State Department of Åland. The personal data in the register is stored permanently.

A personal identity code is a means of identification used in Finland. No two persons can have the
same personal identity code. The code consists of 11 characters and is based on your date of birth
and your gender (example: 131052-308T). Being issued a personal identity code gives you no rights
or obligations in Finland. You will usually need the code when you contact public authorities,
because it gives them access to your information in the Population Information System. Even
employers, banks or phone operators, for example, may need to know your personal identity
code.

At this stage, the following personal data will be recorded in the Population Information System:
your name, date of birth, gender, citizenship, native language, address and occupation.

Further information about the processing of personal data recorded in the Population Information
System can be found in the privacy statement available at dvv.fi/en/pis-privacy-statement. You
may also request a paper copy from the Finnish Immigration Service or from the Finnish mission to
which you return this application.

The UMA The information you have provided on this form will be recorded in the electronic case
system management system (UMA) of the Finnish Immigration Service.

The UMA system is used for processing, decision-making in and monitoring of matters governed by
the Aliens Act and the Nationality Act. All documents related to the processing of your matter will
be filed in the UMA system. For further information on the processing of your personal data and
your rights related to the processing, see migri.fi/data-protection. You can request a paper copy
of the statement when you submit your application.

13. Date and signature

I am applying for a residence permit in Finland, and I hereby confirm with my signature that the details I have provided
on this form and in the attachments are correct. I am aware that providing false personal information or false written
documentation to the authorities is a punishable act under law in Finland. Providing false information may result in
rejection of the application or withdrawal of an existing permit, removal from the country and an entry ban into the
Schengen area.
